I never much liked the concept of inflexible structure in a system. It always made my skin crawl. I always felt like it suggested the ommittance of something rather important.
I've finaly realized that the missing "something" is the basis for all existence.
In my opinion, god is a snugly concept, that keeps everyone who believes in it nice and warm. But on the other hand, prevents them from getting out, and looking beyond the warm safe basket.
In scientific thought, the concept functions all the better for being cut off from all background images. In its full exercise, the scientific concept is free from all the delays of its genetic evolution, an evolution which is consequently explained by simple psychology. The virility of knowledge increases with each conquest of the constructive abstraction.
Perhaps it is even a good idea to stir up a rivalry between conceptual and imaginative activity. In any case, one will encounter nothing but disappointments if he intends to make them cooperate. The image can not provide matter for a concept. By giving stability to the image, the concept would stifle its life.
